1.10 POINT SYSTEM
The Judges are five and will award points on the official EJU scoring sheet.
For each technique the total score of three Judges will be totaled to produce the final
score: the maximum score and the minimum score for each technique will be cancelled.
The total score of the whole Kata will be the sum of the score totaled by five Judges.
Each technique and open and closing ceremonies are evaluated with a maximum
positive score of 10 points. The positive score is decreased by mistakes. The evaluation of
every technique of Kata has to consider the principle and opportunity of execution: the
evaluation (included the open and close ceremony) has to be comprehensive.
Definition of mistakes:
• Forgotten technique – score is Zero and the total score of the Kata is halved. If the
forgotten technique is more than one, zero score will be given to the technique but the
total score will be not halved again. If the halved total value is not a whole number, the
score will be rounded up.
• Big mistake: when the execution of the principle is incorrect (5 points are deducted
and the maximum number of crosses is 1).
• Medium mistake: when one or more elements of the principle are not applied in the
correct way (3 points are deducted and the maximum number of crosses is 1).
• Small mistake: imperfection in the application of the technique (1 point is deducted
and the maximum number of crosses is 2).
For every technique without a big mistake, the minimum score has to be 5. The
evaluation of fluidity, course and rhythm represents the global vision of the whole Kata
(included the rei) :
o If there is no big mistake in the Kata, the minimum result will be 5 and the
maximum 10.
o If there is a big mistake in the Kata (including rei), the score must not be more
than 5.
o In case of a forgotten technique, the score or fluidity, course and rhythm is zero. In
the Nage-no-Kata, right and left techniques will be evaluated globally (only one
score). In case of equal score between pairs, the following criteria will be applied
considering the scoring sheet of the five Judges :
- Total value of big mistakes – wins who make less mistakes;
- If still equal, total value of medium mistakes will be considered – wins the pair
who makes less mistakes;
- If still equal, total value of small mistakes will be considered –wins the pair who
makes less mistakes;
- If still equal, the score of fluidity will decide. Wins the pair who has better score.
If two pairs are both placing 3rd place after the above mentioned criteria, the Kata
will be repeated in order to assign the medal.
